Is there a simple way to seed a fruit that has over 600 juicy little cells? Cells that have the ability to stain your clothes and skin once the juice is released?

Yes a typical pomegranate contains about 600 juicy seeds encapsulated in white pith. No other fruit compares with such a challenge that the pomegranate gives one to enjoy its juicy bounty. 

Step 1:

What this image fails to show you is the juicy mess that was made from pulling that fruit apart and the juice running and squirting every where it could find to splatter its staining juice. 

Here’s a way to deal with such a challenge of getting the seeds out, with out the juicy mess.

Step 2:

As shown in the illustration cut the pomegranate across the equator.

Step 3:

Take one half of the fruit and using a wooden spoon, protecting your fingers, hit the pomegranate hard all around. Do the same with the other half. In a matter of seconds all seeds fall out with little to no mess what so ever!!
